title: [Changes in 4 bearer-proteins and C3 in patients following burn injury].
abstract: Four bearer-proteins including prealbumin (Pal), ceruloplasmin (CP), transferrin (Tf) and haptoglobin (HP) and C3 were determined in patients following burn injury. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the TBSA, i.e. group 1 (1-10%), group 2 (11-30%), group 3 (31-60%) and group 4 (61-98%). Early after burn injury Pal, CP, Tf and C3 decreased markedly but C3 and CP were followed by a elevation slightly higher than normal control in group 1 and 2 but not in group 3 and 4, while Tf and Pal kept in lower level till 4 weeks after burn injury. Only elevated HP after burn injury was noticed and then decreased in group 1 and 2.
